Alright guys, my powerlifting meet is this Saturday and we can weigh in anytime tomorrow between 9am-9pm. I start my first day of work for 10 tomorrow morning, so I won't be able to go weigh in untill prob. 3-4 maybe later, not sure. The past 2 mornings I weighed 245.4, I need to be at 242 to compete in the 242 weight class...I do not want to compete in the 275 weight class.

Should I continue drinking a lot of water tonight? Tomorrow morning can I eat a light breakfast (eggs whites)? And not eat or drink anything else throughout the day before weigh in? Any help is appreciated, thanks!

At this point I have to agree, you needed to water load for a few days before hand. Just go get on the scale and kick some butt. Worry about being down a class next time. The only alternative you have it take take a water pill and pee for the next 24hrs haha! That will wreck your system though, and if its not something you done before, it could be ugly!

Just find a ymca or any place that has a steam room. You can usually pay a $5 fee or similar to visit. Sit im there for 15-20 min at a time followed bya short break, until you hit your target weight. Its easy to cut 3 or 4 pounds in an hour. Rehydrate immediately after your weigh in.

No, this isn't my first meet. But I woke up this morning and weighed 244 lbs. So I decided to go weigh in in the morning before my first day of work. Rode with my heater on blast the car ride there and weighed in at 239.5 lbs.!!!!!
